Just Us Books had the great honor of participating in the Black Publishers and Writers Delegation visit to Cuba. Books brought us together; We attended the 28th Havana International Bookfair, which kicked off on Feb. 6 in Havana’s San Carlos de la Cabana fortress. But beyond books, our visit to Cuba was about discovering/deepening connections, supporting each other, and strengthening our communities together.
